ALL-IRELAND CHAMPIONS Dublin have dominated the 2015 GAA/GPA Allstar football team.
Seven of the Dubs’ winning side were honoured this evening in the National Convention Centre, led by forward Bernard Brogan who wins his fourth award.
Beaten finalists Kerry have four representatives on the team, which is entirely different from the 2014 selection, while there are two winners from Mayo and one apiece from Tyrone and Monaghan.
Brogan is joined by team-mates Rory O’Carroll and Philly McMahon, both of whom are named in the full-back line, while Cian O’Sullivan and Jack McCaffrey fill two of the three half-back slots.

Brian Fenton is named in midfield following a stellar debut season while Ciaran Kilkenny is selected at centre-forward.
There are nine first-time Allstars including four of those Dubs — McMahon, McCaffrey, Fenton and Kilkenny — and all four of Kerry’s representatives.
Brendan Kealy gets the nod in goal ahead of Donegal’s Paul Durcan and Monaghan stopper Rory Beggan.
Shane Enright is selected at corner-back while Anthony Maher is in midfield and Donnchadh Walsh finally wins his first Allstar at the age of 31.
At wing-forward, Tyrone’s Mattie Donnelly is the other first-time winner while Monaghan ace Conor McManus and Mayo’s Aidan O’Shea join Brogan in a hugely competitive full-forward line.
